Bitcoin to Litecoin Exchange Rates
Bitcoin uses SHA-256d proof of work with a 600-second target block interval, while Litecoin uses Scrypt proof of work with a 150-second target interval. The required 2 BTC and 6 LTC confirmations correspond to nominal waits of 20 and 15 minutes, respectively, but block arrivals and transaction inclusion are variable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does BTC to LTC take?
At target block intervals, BTC requires 2 × 600 s = 1,200 s (20 min), and LTC requires 6 × 150 s = 900 s (15 min). If the LTC payout is broadcast after BTC reaches 2 confirmations, the combined confirmation-time estimate is 2,100 s (35 min). Adding the supplied typical settlement ranges of 15-25 min and 10-18 min gives 25-43 min, before additional routing delays. These are estimates, not guaranteed completion times.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The BTC deposit pays a Bitcoin miner fee in BTC, based on transaction virtual size and the selected fee rate in satoshis/vB. The LTC payout pays a separate Litecoin miner fee in LTC, likewise based on virtual size and a fee rate expressible in litoshis/vB. Required fee rates depend on mempool demand and relay policies, so current fee estimates are needed. The deposit sender funds the BTC fee; the route's quote determines how the LTC payout cost is passed to the user. Additional confirmations do not incur additional network fees.
